Landlord and trade work in Watt's Cross
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Watt's Cross
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Questions from Watt's Cross
How do I get a price for sink repair in Watt's Cross?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
